Might You Enjoy Sharing Your Research?

Imagine being paid to share what you're researching with a group of interested and curious civilians, in a warm and welcoming environment.

Curious About the World?

Would you enjoy broadening your knowledge of the world by hearing about new research and perspectives in a small group suited to in-depth discussion?

Welcome to Backyard Symposiums

At Backyard Symposiums, academics, researchers, and curious minds come together for meaningful discussions. Whether you're here to share your insights or explore something new, this is the space for you.

• Cost: Participants pay £49 to attend, with a maximum of 10 attendees.
• Speaker Fee: Speakers receive £250–£500 depending on the number of speakers.
• Event Duration: Discussions typically last 3 hours.
